…There from the very start

1960 In 1962 the first independent VDE standard specifically relating to medical locations was published. The A-ISOMETER® 107TM2 was one of the world’s first electronic insulation monitoring devices to ever be launched for use in medical locations.
2.0 A-ISOMETER® 107TM2 (1977) Changeover and monitoring module UM (1994) 1980 2000 In the light of new discoveries and to take account of internationally binding specifications, in June 1981, standard DIN VDE 0107: 1981-06 entitled “Erection and testing electrical installations in medical locations” came into force.At this point, the A-ISOMETER® 107TM40 was introduced for the pur-pose of monitoring IT systems. In addition, series production of alarm indicator and operator panels for hospitals began, specifically those intended for use in operating theatres and on intensive care units. The proliferation of modern bus systems and the desire for more information culminated in the development of the MEDICS® system at the end of the 1990s. The buzzwords associated with this deve- lopment were: increased reliability for power supplies manufacturer in medical locations, data exchange via bus systems, display of information in plain-text format and user-friendliness. In November 2002 standard DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100-710): 2002-11 came into force, su- perseding DIN VDE 0107 (VDE 0107): 1994-10.This national standard, which is based on international draft standard IEC 60364-7-710, takes account of the latest advances within the field of medical engineering and higher levels of safety awareness. The MEDICS® system also meets these new requirements, thereby providing clear proof of BENDER’s forward-thinking strategy.
A-ISOMETER® 107TM40 with Tableau (1982) 1990 Work continued on German standard DIN VDE 0107 to ensure that it remained in line with the current state of the art. A new edition was published in 1994. The key points covered by this standard were the requirements and use of standalone changeover equip- ment for redundant power supplies. The UM107ETU changeover and monitoring module was the first complete solution for Group 2 rooms to be made available on the market. In addition, the first alarm indicator and operator panels with plain-text display were launched.
